                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

 
 Honoring the victims of the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shooting 
    and condemning the atrocities that occurred in Aurora, Colorado.

Whereas, on July 20, 2012, an armed gunman opened fire at a movie theater in 
        Aurora, Colorado, killing 12 people and wounding 58 others;
Whereas many individuals at the theater selflessly sought to aid and protect 
        others without regard for their own safety;
Whereas the Aurora Police Department and the Aurora Fire Department quickly and 
        bravely acted to prevent the additional loss of life; and
Whereas local, State, and Federal law enforcement, firefighters, and medical 
        service professionals performed their duties with utmost skill and 
        coordination: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the heinous 
        atrocities that occurred in Aurora, Colorado;
            (2) offers condolences to the families, friends, and loved 
        ones of those who were killed in the shooting;
            (3) expresses hope for the rapid and complete recovery of 
        the wounded;
            (4) applauds the hard work and dedication exhibited by the 
        hundreds of local, State, and Federal officials and other 
        individuals who offered support and assistance; and
            (5) honors the resilience of the community of the City of 
        Aurora and the State of Colorado in the face of incredible 
        adversity.
                                 <all>
